Selective observation

I think women are all somewhat paranoid in the sense that we think that people around us notice every little flaw in our appearance. I think that's interesting, because I at least don't notice much. I'm sure there are people that will notice and harp on people's flaws, maybe because they are super observant (which I'm not) or super judgmental (which I don't think I am). So I just want to write down some of the things I do and don't notice about other's appearances. I wonder if other people notice/don't notice the same things I do/don't?

Women:
I notice when women wear pants that are too tight around the waist and they have back fat spilling out over the tops of their pants
I don't notice/can't tell when a woman is a having a bad hair day.
I notice when women put powder over zits to try to cover them up.
I usually don't notice a zit otherwise.
I notice when women wear heels around campus that are so high and inconvenient that I wonder what they're trying to prove by being so uncomfortable without reason. *cough FOBS cough*
I don't notice when a woman has hairy legs.
I notice if a woman does something different with her hair.
I don't notice if a woman second-days her hair/clothing.

Men:
I notice when a guy smells good. I really notice.
I don't notice when a guy has put on/lost weight (except under extreme cases).
I notice when a guy grows hair in places previously hairless.
I don't notice what brand of clothing a guy has.
I do notice if a guy dresses nicely.
I don't notice how many times a guy wears the same outfit in a week.
I notice if a guy has wrinkles in his clothing.
I don't notice a guy's shoes, watches, or other accessories.
I notice if a guy struts like a peacock. And then avoid him. (Exhibit A: my cousin)

I was just thinking the other day that I worry a lot about some things in my appearance that I bet people don't even notice. And I was wondering what they do notice. What do guy's notice? Do they notice anything beyond hot or not?

Nearly 70% of American women prefer a clean-shaven man.
